lyrics

“Whose funeral is that?”
a man would sometimes ask on Plutonian Avenue
“Oh, just one of the city aldermen,”
a passer-by would answer hurriedly

I’m kneeling on an iceberg
leaving wishes in the water
and when the whale says so I dance…
I dance!

I’m kneeling on an iceberg
leaving wishes in the water
and when the whale says what to do, I do it
and usually it’s “Dance!”

This volcano is the city council chambers
babushkas waiting for the bread truck
waiting for the post
but of course, every village has a war memorial

Every village has a war memorial

Babushkas are waiting for the bread truck
and they’re waiting for the mail
waiting for the truck with the letters with the stamps on ‘em

“When the human race evolved it evolved with uranium
in the environment so we physiologically
can actually deal with it to some extent…
Plutonium is a man-made element!”

So, like I said I’m kneeling on this iceberg
and there’s this whale in the water
and I’m doing this thing, it looks like praying
but it feels like wishing
and it sounds a lot like
a saxophone when it’s upset
a saxophone when it ain’t fed
when its reed ain’t wet

Babushkas waiting for the bread truck in Eastern European cities
babushkas waiting for the bread truck in Winnipeg
babushkas waiting for the mail truck
babushkas waiting for that Sysco delivery
babushkas waiting for that…
